As some of you know, I've hung out on d-u periodically over the past few
years, less so of late due to other pressures...
...one of which is maintaining a set of TWiki pages covering the SCO vs.
IBM and GNU/Linux issue.
Latest addition at the site is a text transcription of Red Hat's filing
for Declaratory Judgment in light of Caldera/SCO's actions:
http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SCOvsIBM#Red_Hat_Filing_for_Declaratory_Jhttp://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/pub/Main/SCOvsIBMReferences/RH-Decleratory-Judgment.txt
...more accessible than the 1.3 MiB scanned PDF download.
Given that many of the claims of RH's filing apply largely equally to
other developers and distributers of GNU/Linux, this documemnt may be a
useful template for other organizations to use in filing similar
actions.
The request I have is this: http://sco.iwethey.org/ contains a wealth
of information -- local analysis, links, discussion -- on the
Caldera/SCO assault on GNU/Linux. A number of people, Don Marti of
SVLUG and Linux Journal in particular, have been promoting this site
heavily. It remains difficult to find in web searches though, and could
very much use the support of both word-of-mouth and links to help get
the word out about the this issue of much significance to the GNU/Linux
community. See:

Thanks much.
Peace.
